What is Mp3?
Mp3 stands for MPEG-1 layer 3 that means Motion Pictures Expert Group 1 Layer 3.
Mp3 is a encoded wave file, it has sound quality nearly the same as audio CDs,
but the size of the file is much smaller than the CD format. The size of a Mp3
file comparing to a wave file is about 1:10, but the sound quality is around 95%
of the wave file ;o) |
How do I play Mp3 files?
First thing you need is a computer, sound card and speakers.
Then you must get a Mp3 player, WinAMP
is a good player, but there are many other Mp3 players out there, you should
try them out and find one for yourself. |
How do I make Mp3s?
Download a Mp3 encoder, for example
Audiocatalyst or AudioGrabber, install it, then read the Readme file
that comes with the software. |
Sometimes when I click on a download link it shows me a bunch of symbols?
This problem only occurs in Netscape, it's one of the Netscape problems. If
this happens, hit the back button on your browser to return to the download
page, hold Shift and click on the link again, this will fix the problem.
This is just a little thing bad about Netscape. |

How can I continue download after I got disconnect?
Download a program called Getright,
it will let you resume download if you gets disconnected, it's a must get if
you want to download Mp3s. |
The server is so slow! Can you fix it?
The answer is no, none of the Mp3s are on our own servers, they are on
different free servers and it is normal that some surfers have not a good
connection to some of them but we can't do anything about it. You can do by
getting faster internet connection :o) |
"Server busy" What does that mean?
Sometimes when you try to download a song, it will respond with something
like "server busy" or "server not responding". That doesn't mean the link is
broken, it just mean that the server has reached it's limited # of users.
You can try to download again in a few minutes. |
I downloaded a Mp3 and it sounds like @#$*@?!
If this happens when you download a song, just use a program called Uncook95
to fix it. Maybe the file is a .ZIP file ( renamed ). That means that you
have to decompress it with WinZIP. |
Why do I get see strange signs, like #@$%^* when I try to download
something?
Some older versions of Netscape try to open the file from its location. You
will have to hold SHIFT and leftclick to download correctly or rightclick
and choose "Save file/target as...". |
I want to burn a mp3 file on a CD!
Download or buy NERO Burn. It is
the best burn9ing software that I ever seen.
After this install this software and select the burn option CD-DA . You can
drag your Mp3s to the burn window and after you have selected all the Mp3s,
click on burn. NERO Burn will burn the Mp3s to Audio CD format to CD. This
is the most easiest way of burning Mp3s to CD (to play it in your car
etc..). |
How come sometimes the file I download is not a .mp3 file?
Because most of the Mp3 files are illegal, they will get deleted from almost
any servers. So people rename them to something like .zip .avi or other
stuff to avoid the file from getting deleted. So when you see a file that
should be .mp3 but it's not, just rename it to filename.mp3. If it doesnt
work just rename it to .zip and unzip it - or rename it to .rar and
decompress it by WinRar. |
After downloading a track I have only files with the extensions *.xls,
*.doc, *.pdf, *.cab, but no mp3.
For concealing from the free webspace providers the Uploaders use such wrong
file extensions. U should rename them to *.mp3, *.zip or *.rar |
How to rename the files???? 1. Open your Windows Explorer
2. Open the “Tools” menu in the Menu Bar at the top
3. Choose “Folders Options”
4. Then Choose the ‘View” folder
5. Remove the mark for “Hide extensions for known file types”
6. All files in your Windows Explorer will look now like this one:
artist.file_extension (for example: madonna.doc – Right click the file and
rename the .doc extension to .mp3 or .zip)
7. U can rename the file extension as you want ;o) |
What to do with these files?
The mp3z are packed with WinRar,
WinZip or
WinAce and then the file
extension is changed. So you have to set the matching file extension
(normally *.zip or *.rar). Now you can extract the file and you
will get a mp3. |
What is the albums password?
Some files are protected by a password. The most used Albums Passwords are:
mp3network
mp3hitz
quickmusic
page4punk
musicgalaxie
musicunivers
canna
canna.go.cc
If these passwords don't work - Try to find the password in the
Password List. You could do it
faster by putting all the passwords in a separate .txt file and using the
Password Recover Software to find the proper one from the list. |
Some files have the jpg extension and should be uncamouflaged by Masker

How to get a complete mp3 from splitted files?
Read carefully the previous questions. If a archive is splitted, you have to
rename the first file to "*.rar" the second to "*.r00", the third to "*.r01"
and so on. If you have Ace-Files, you have to do almost the same. The first
file has to be "*.ace", the second "*.a00"... Then you can extract the files
with WinRAR or
WinAce. |
How can I change these file extensions?There are a lot of tools,
which can do this. We recommend the tools "Windows
Commander" and "Dana".
But you can also use the Windows Explorer. Just click with the right mouse
button on the file and pick "rename". |
What can I do if there occurs an error during the extraction process?
There are generally two possibilities.
1. The file has been damaged during the download process. Just try to
download it again.
2. The file has been damaged during the upload process. Please write a email
containing a detailed description of your problem to
.
We will check the file as soon as possible.

or "ReGet" with a lot of

Why it is not possible to download a file located at Yahoo Briefcase?
If you can't download a file located at Briefcase, the account normally has
exceeded its bandwidth. You have to wait until tomorrow, because Yahoo only
allows a data transfer of 100MB a day. |
